IMPACT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF THE AMI RIVER

Abstract

Rapid industrialization, along with other human activities, has had a negative impact on the environment in India. Major industries lack of insufficient effluent treatment facilities. It contributes to environmental degradation. Present study of the physicochemical analysis of Ami River. Samples were collected from GIDA sector-13, Gorakhpur. Physicochemical parameters were studied one year 2020- 2021. All parameters reported less or more than standard permissible limits of CPCB and WHO. pH reported 8.5 to 8.85. Temperature 32° C in summer, color brownish black and brown in site-1 and site-2, odor, pungent smell recorded site-1 and site-2, turbidity 48 NTU in summer, EC 111.1 µmhos/cm2 in rainy season, TSS 1300 mg/L, TDS 597.56 mg/L, free CO2 12 mg/L, DO 2.0 mg/L in summer, BOD 1167 mg/L in winter, COD 1063.5 mg/L, in summer, very higher than permissible limit. The value found above 0.5 has been highlighted and considered the relationship study. The correlation analysis is identified that EC, COD, BOD, CO2, turbidity, TSS, alkalinity, observed higherlevel correlation with water quality parameters in all seasons. These studies prove that the river is carrying a heavy load of organic waste that exceeds its dilution, self purification capability. High anthropogenic activities, improper sanitation and direct discharge of effluent by industrial and domestic sewage that is finally altered into the below class E- categories water
